According to my HRM today's burn was 1,117 calories. First time over 1,000 and I'm exhausted!
I'm 6'5" and currently 265 (was 293 on the day I joined, and 323 at the beginning of this year) the work outs have varied all the way from mid 400s to damn near 900 but never this high, so I feel like its a hell of a milestone, and just kinda wanted to brag a bit...that is all...you may now return to your regularly scheduled programs.

All in one time period. I'm curious to know what you were doing too so I can look into it.:drinker:0

The one time I burned that many calories (via HRM) I had raked leaves and weeded gardens for 4 hours. Since then the closest I've gotten is 970 at the gym. So hard to eat enough on those days.0

AH, THIS IS PERFECT. I POSTED SOMETHING LIKE THIS EARLIER.
That's AWESOME if you burnt that many calories (provided you can adequately fuel up after).
But what would MPF say you'd burn doing all that? I did strength training for 60 minutes today (first time wearing HRM) and it said I burnt 458 calories... when MFP would say I'd burn 160-170ish for my age/weight/height.
Trying to figure out if HRM isn't as accurate as I thought they were supposed to be?0 -

MFP isn't very accurate either!0 -
I just had my 1,000+ workout day yesterday!!! Don't you feel like a superhero? I did! :-)
I did 65 minutes on the elliptical at the gym, and then recovered a bit while I did a quick stop to get some groceries. I got home, had half a protein shake, and then went into Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred.
What a great day!0 -

Unfortunately HRMs don't accurately measure calories burned for strength training.

probably because MPF defines "strength training" as lifting weights and you were jumping around doing stuff for your "strength training"0 -

Sweating because of excess heat in your environment does nothing to help your workout. All it does is make you more likely to become dehydrated. If anything, I'd bet you'd work *harder* if you weren't in an environment that started out uncomfortably hot.0 -
Awesome!!!!! Keep up the good work. You have done a tremendous job on your weight loss. Doesn't it feel great?0
